From beginning to end, everyone ignored what to do if Yuan Shao was defeated? Or rather, they all decided that Gongsun Chan had failed.

No way, the gap is too big. Even if he has been milked by Yuan Shu, Gongsun Chan still cannot be Yuan Shao's opponent.

The population of Youzhou under Gongsun Zan was less than two million, while the population under Yuan Shao was close to six million. And the gap in financial resources and food is even greater.

Gongsun Chan can now recruit an army of 150,000 at most, while Yuan Shao can recruit more than 400,000 casually. This absolute gap in strength, even if Gongsun Zhan's soldiers are strong, each of them can fight two by one, and in the end, it will only be a lose-lose situation. If Gongsun Chan wants to win, how easy is it?

Unless it is to use the power of water and fire, or the strategy of cutting off food and bombing the camp, directly slap Yuan Shao to death or beat him until he vomits blood, Gongsun Chan has absolutely no chance of winning. But with Gongsun Zhan's brain, will he use stratagems?

There is only one Tian Yu under his command, and his brain is not bad, and others like Guan Jing and the like are just a little smart. But Tian Yu is not an orthodox strategist! He is a good hand in fighting wars, but it is still a bit difficult to let him play tricks.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not take Gongsun Chan to heart. A reckless man who relies solely on the courage of his puppet, and he doesn't even have a character like Fan Zeng under his command, and he still wants to dominate the world?

If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Zhan had a violent and upright temperament and was unwilling to live under others, Yuan Shu would not have the idea of accepting this goods. When it comes to cavalry combat capabilities, this product is definitely among the top three in the world, and this is still under the condition of Gongsun Zhan's general force.

It's a pity that this is a figure like Xiang Yu, just like Lu Bu, destined to flash away after an astonishing light in this troubled world. Those who are brave and unscrupulous are not masters, and those who are brave and unscheming can only be the king's precursor in this troubled world.

......

"Gongjin, will we fight independently or assist Gongsun Zan together this time?" As soon as he got on the battleship, Sun Ce asked excitedly.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "We are only more than 20,000 elite horsemen, and it is difficult to resist either Wuhuan or Xianbei. Naturally, he assisted General Gongsun in the battle. ”

Sun Ce said unhappily: "Gong Jin, you are underestimating us too much. You must know that our 23,000 cavalry are all elites, and 3,000 of them are still heavy armored cavalry, isn't it more than enough to destroy a Wuhuan or Xianbei? ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, who refused to admit defeat, rather helplessly: "Bo Fu, what is the purpose of our trip to the north this time?" You won't be unclear, right? ”

Sun Ce said confidently: "Of course I know, help General Gongsun guard the frontier and eliminate the alien races!" ”

Speaking of this, Sun Ce showed a yearning expression. Defending the family and defending the country, sealing the wolf and living in the house, this is the lifelong dream of many Han men! Even Cao Cao's initial ideal was to become the general of the Han Dynasty and expand his territory.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Bo Fu, it's not me who hits you." Although we are going to assist General Gongsun in exterminating the alien races next year, in fact, it is not good to say, that is, we are preparing to take the grasslands in the north before Yuan Shao after Gongsun Chan's defeat, do you understand? ”

"Are you saying that General Gongsun will be defeated? How is this possible? Sun Ce was surprised.

Sun Ce was bored during the period of resignation and recuperation, so he also went to the northern grasslands for a visit. After all, as a cavalry general, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to have never even seen the northern grasslands.

It was during that time that Sun Ce realized how high the sky was and how thick the earth was, and the elite cavalry he was proud of was at most an average level in Gongsun Zhan, and even much inferior.

After all, diving can't raise a real dragon, and trying to cultivate a real elite rider in the south is tantamount to a fool's dream. Otherwise, the various battles in ancient history that were fought in the south and north would not have been so difficult. Cavalry is an eternal sore spot in the South.

Gongsun Zhan, who has tens of thousands of elite cavalry and white horse Yicong, is simply an invincible existence in Sun Ce's eyes, and he can even be tied with Lu Bu for a while.

Zhou Yu said casually: "After all, the courage of the puppet is difficult to resist the royal army. What if Gongsun Chan is a hundred thousand elite riders? Yuan Benchu had countless ministers and generals, a full 300,000 elites, how could Gongsun Chan win? After all, it's just dry bones in the grave. It would be fine if we followed the same course of action as we would have done in the north, but it would have been completely self-defeating to concentrate on a decisive battle. ”

The use of light cavalry in history was brought into full play by Genghis Khan, not at all for head-on combat, but for kite flying. Except for small groups of elite and large-scale archers who are likely to protect themselves, who can deal with this group of scoundrels?

Gongsun Chan is not unclear about these truths, but he can't stand his strong personality! just admitted defeat in such a gloomy manner, waiting to be driven out of Youzhou by Yuan Shao, and retreated to the grassland to harass Yuan Shao like a scoundrel and seek opportunities. What's the difference between this and those aliens? So far, Si Xiang Yu has refused to cross Jiangdong, and Gongsun Zan knows that he may not be able to defeat Yuan Shao head-on, but he still does not want to dodge.

Zhou Yu's words silenced Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, you now have a nickname in Jiangdong called Little Overlord. But I hope you don't believe in force and don't understand scheming like Xiang Yu. You and I both know the ambition of the lord, and you are destined to go out on your own in the future, don't let the lord down! Zhou Yu whispered.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with a solemn face and smiled.

"Gong Jin, don't you know about me? I am me, and what little overlord or little Wenhou is not me. What's more, I'm not good at scheming, don't I still have you! ”

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, I can't be by your side forever, you have to grow up by yourself after all." In this battle of Northern Xinjiang, Zilong and I both have our own tasks, do you think we will have to act alone? ”

"What?" Sun Ce was curious: "Why do you all have tasks?" I don't have one? ”

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Because your temper is too short-tempered, the lord didn't let you participate in this matter." You act with General Zhang Liao to support General Gongsun. ”

"It's okay, it's my favorite thing to do on the battlefield and fight against aliens, so go about your business! I want to see how elite the Megatron White Horse Yicong is? My Overlord Iron Rider is much worse than he can do. ”

"Hehe, I hope you can still have such pride and ambition after seeing it." Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled.

"Anyway, what did the lord tell you to do?" Sun Ce asked curiously.

"What do you think the lord is most interested in Gongsun Zhan?" Zhou Yu said lightly.

"White Horse Righteous Servant?" Sun Ce reflexively said.

"That's right! The most important task of Zilong this time is to see if he can inherit the inheritance of the White Horse from Gongsun Zhan's hands. ”

"Shhh Is this kind of inheritance Gongsun Chan willing to give it to others? Sun Ce couldn't believe it.

"When he is defeated by Yuan Shao, do you guess he will carry the White Horse Yicong into the grave, or will he leave it to us allies to fight against the aliens?"
